WSU Versus Houston Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[Slykryck]

Wichita State at -10. No sure if it opened there or not.

[shocks02]

Opened at -9.

Got them at -9, but I'd still take -10.

[WuDrWu]

Don't forget it's a 6pm start, not 7. Price we pay for being on national TV every game in a POW6R Conference.

[Shox21]

Maybe it won't be that way next year. We came late to the game this year with a lot of schedules already in the works.

[Cdizzle]

Don't count on it. The midweek ESPN timeslots are 6PM and 8PM. And we're going to be on ESPN a lot.

It will be mildly inconvenient at times, but is better than ESPN3, or the 8PM and 10PM options offered by the MVC or MWC, respectively.

So now Zach Brown is dealing with a sprained ankle. Doesn't sound like it will keep him from playing but it also doesn't exactly sound like he will be 100%

[Cdizzle]

I got the impression the ankle sprain was before the UConn game? Which would give me some hope that it isn't too bad.

[1972Shocker]

Yeah, Zach reportedly said he badly sprained it a week ago. You don't typically recover from a bad sprain in a week but with the tape jobs the trainers do you can play on it. He said it still hurts but that may be with him for a while. With Markis back it may not be quite as ciritcal as it would have previously.

IT'S GAMEDAY, THAT'S WHAT !!!!!!!!!! 7th grade girls BB at St Mark's, whiz up to 96, get there at tipoff.

These posts always remind me that even though you are sarcastic and dry with your one liners most of the time, you are still a hardcore party animal at heart.

Dry and sarcastic?? Do we know each other?

Back to previous comments about changing the lineup, I don't think it would be a great idea to start that way; however, I would like to see the Landry, Conner, and Reaves lineup a little more often. Although it may be a little bit of a defensive liability, when is Conner not one? Great shooter, but just not tall enough to close out hard enough to really effect many shots. With this lineup and then throw in Rashard and either Darral or Shaq, our offense is just unstoppable, work the ball inside, patience from the big men and not forcing shots and then getting the ball back out for an open shot, even if we miss we all know Rashard will be there with the offensive rebound. I say this because it seems like we have been struggling a little getting shots to fall early. Thoughts?

After being away from Wichita for 3 or so years having to stream games on ESPN Ocho, I don’t want to sound ungrateful for nationally televised games...but does anybody else hate the new ESPN score board. It’s gaudy. It would help if it was at least partially transparent.

I hate it. I really dislike the new scorebug trend. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to better for mobile viewing or what the motivation is but all the new ones suck.

If pretty boy is reffing I will start drinking bourbon now.....

[Cdizzle]

Stripe-fail. And it ain't the fans fault.

[Shoxthemonkey]

Somebody not named Shoxthemonkey needs to start a game thread. Are you listening Mr pickle? Btw, who needs a bad experience to start drinking bourbon? Not me.

Before 6 PM on a Thursday no less.

The white looks bad and actually manages to make the yellow and black sections look worse.

[1972Shocker]

Moved.
